• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Dead battery

    Thanks Guys Always a great source of opinions. I do keep it on a maintainer...not sure if the cold snap we had a week ago had anything to do with it. Guess I will just go ahead and get a new battery...better safe than sorry. Thanks again. This place rocks!

    Dead battery

    So my battery finally died. Lasted about 4 years...not sure if that is typical. Question is...do I go ahead and buy a new one or just wait until the end of winter? Does it hurt anything sitting there with a dead battery? Thx

    Another shifting/rpms question

    Been wondering that myself! Thanks lizmcg for the post. I often wonder what gear I should be in while cruising at 45mph....2nd seemed to high on the RPM's and 3rd seemed too low.

    Chauvinistic Pig?

    So me and a buddy are sitting outside eating dinner. I parked my Spyder across the street where I had a great view of it. We notice two cute girls walk by and start looking around at it. All of a sudden one of the girls climb up and sit down on the bike while the other took her picture...

    Great Ride!

    Called an audible Saturday morning in lieu of doing yard work. Road trip party of one "Yes please!" Just took off on the "Beast" to see where the road and wind took me. Took off from Belmont...it was in the 90's. Took 27 through Lincolnton, up 18 into Morganton. Stopped at Catawba Valley Brewery...

    Holy sh*t a dump truck!

    Was headed down a 4 lane road, my son was behind me in the truck. I was in the left lane cruising around 40 mph. I was coming up on a stopped car turning left in front of me. I was keeping an eye on the front tire to make sure it wasn't moving. All of a sudden as I got up to that car, the dump...

    New airflow panels

    Just got my Spyder back today with the new airflow panels installed. It does make a difference. Typically cruising down the highway the temperatute gauge stays at 5 bars. With new panels it stays at 4 bars now. Foot boards are cooler and the seat stays cooler. Makes riding in 95 degree weather...

    Is that thing safe!

    I was headed to the dealership to get my new airflow panels installed. I was behind a Goldwing. We came up to a red light, and he motioned me to come forward. So I moved up beside him, and he looked over at me with a confused look and said "Is that thing safe? Having three wheels and all!" I...

    Bike Week Myrtle Beach

    I'm headed down for my first ever bike event tomorrow. Will be my longest ride yet (4 hours). Longest ride so far has been 1 hour (weak I know). I'm sure I'm going to stand out like a sore thumb in the sea of Harley's. Anyone else headed down this weekend.
